Attaching a few images of a phrynium species.
Can the plant be Phrynium placentarium ??
Yes, Dada, I think your id is correct.
Of three species in “Bengal Plants”, this is the closest id – Plant illustrations– Stachyphrynium placentarium (Lour.) Clausager & Borchs.
Thank you.
I think it is Phrynium imbricatum. Check the fruit if it is elongate triangular and brown you can confirm it.
